Today in class you will be creating a manual for how to train an animal how to complete a task. This assignment is due Tuesday at the latest.
Your manual will include at least six of the following terms related to classical conditioning and/or operant conditioning:
classical conditioning (cc) -the learned pairing of an action with a stimulus
operant conditioning (OC) -modifying behavior by rewarding or punishing behavior in order to shape a particular outcome.
unconditioned response (CC) -an action/behavior that is not yet trained.
conditioned response (CC) -an action/behavior that is now owned/displayed/mastered.
unconditioned stimulus (CC) -something that will eventually be connected with a reaction/response.
conditioned stimulus (CC) -something that is connected to a reaction. Like you know that the bell means to change classes.
stimulus generalization (either) - all input (sound, taste, whatever) means the same thing. ex: all bells mean run outside and scream fire
higher-order conditioning (either) -
primary reinforcers (OC) -something you don't have to learn to love or hate. base biological needs.
secondary reinforcers (OC) - something that you learned to love or hate
negative reinforcement (OC) -removing a stimulus. ex: no homework, taking away cellphone.
positive reinforcement (OC) -introducing a stimulus. ex: spanking, a cupcake.
discriminative stimulus (either) -
reinforcement schedule (OC) -how often a reinforcement is introduced.
extinction (either) -forgetting
spontaneous recovery (either) -remembering
intermittent reinforcement schedule (OC) -offering positive or negative stimulus occasionally
constant reinforcement schedule (OC) -every time the desired action is performed, a positive or negative stimulus is presented.
You may write out your manual in bullet point form, you must however include and underline at least 6 of the above vocabulary terms. Please write up all the steps involved clearly. Yes, you may include terms to explain why you would not use them.
